Introduction

In this tutorial, the goal is to highlight information sources for engineering topics. The tutorial covers:

• searching the library catalog for hard to find items
• indexes & finding articles, where to look for technical papers and reports
• industry standards
• government sources of information, including patents & trademarks

1. Searching UTNetCAT

Go to UTNetCAT

Do we have these conference proceedings:

Atolagbe, S.O., 1989, "Product Design and Development: A Developing Country's Experience", Proceedings from the 6th International Conference on Engineering Design, Harrogate, UK.

How would you search for SPIE v.5231 in UTNetCAT if this is all the information you have?

A student is looking for volume 107 of the ASCE Journal of Structural Engineering but UTNetCAT indicates that our holdings start with volume 109? Do we have what the student is looking for?
